Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 49 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (11)
He patted him seriously on the shoulder and said: "This place has been an electromagnetic interference zone all year round. I don't know why, but later I found out that this castle is made of very special materials. It has natural magnetic interference components, and its material is also You can make yourself transparent. If the volume of this thing is magnified by 100 times, then the entire earth will be disturbed. But there is also a way to make it temporarily invalid, and that is a huge wind, because every time there is a sandstorm, the building The magnetic force will disappear and be revealed, which may also be related to its special material. I have been studying the secrets inside these years, and it is because of this that I haven’t gone back, but I am ashamed that there is not much progress.”

Academician Qi said: "Then how many comrades are there? Are they alive or dead now?"

Seriously said: "The rest are all there, only Captain Li has not seen it, I guess they may have suffered a disaster."

Head Chen said: "Why do you have this knowledge? What is the basis, because you are still here after all!"

Academician Qi said, "Didn't you domesticate these things?"

Yan Gongdao: "That's right, but that was before they were injured, it's hard to say now."

While talking, we retreated backwards, but the back is a dead end, but rushing forward is not a good way.Commander Chen and the others each took out their knives and guns and waited for them. Yan Gong said: "No matter what, don't shoot, otherwise disaster will be imminent. Remember it."

The giant pig came in grunting, grunting, and approached us with fierce eyes. We didn't even have room to avoid the straight passage, so we could only retreat step by step, but what if there was no way to retreat?
But Duke Yan seemed to be very sure, he kept saying: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we just need to retreat."

Finally we retreated to the wall at the end, but only now did we realize that this is actually a corner, and there is another direction inside.But when we came here, except for Yan Gong, all of us were stunned, because what appeared before us was a huge space, with many dim candlesticks hanging on the walls deep inside, and a huge pool on the ground. What stands now is the entrance to the pool.The water is crystal clear, so we can clearly see a huge creature lurking in the water.

Duke Yan lowered his voice and said, "Don't make any changes, otherwise there will be no place to bury you."

The few of us just stood so straight, not daring to move, but seeing the giant devil pig approaching step by step, I don’t know if it also wants to stand beside us, or if we have a full meal and we help ourselves make up for it. To replenish blood, but Mr. Yan does not move, so naturally we dare not move.

Just when we had already smelled the strong bloody smell from the giant devil pig, suddenly the water in the pool splashed, and a huge, gut-wrenching animal stood up from the water.I also remember that many years ago we encountered a huge creature called "Aotian", which was the largest land animal I had ever seen.Although the devil giant pig is also of extraordinary size, it is one level smaller than "Aotian", but the creature in front of it is obviously much bigger than Aotian. To make an accurate analogy, Aotian's entire body is probably about the same as its one leg high.And as long as there is no hair on its huge face, it looks like a standard man's face, with a straight nose bridge and rough eyebrows.But the whole body is covered with light yellow body hair, with some patterns mixed in the middle. Just looking at the body, it looks a bit like a tiger. The four paws are covered with dagger-like nails, which are long and sharp.

It seems to have glanced at us, with a half-smile expression on its face, which makes people feel the kind of horror that is cold to the bone.Yan Gong said: "Don't look into its eyes, everyone kneel down and face the ground."

He prostrated himself before it, and we immediately followed suit.Then a huge gust of wind passed over its back, only to hear a scream from the giant pig, followed by two clicks, and then splashes of water, and after a while, there was no more movement.

I was already drenched in sweat, my limbs were so frightened that my limbs were so weak, I only heard Mr. Yan whisper: "Hurry up and go."

Academician Qi said: "My God, what kind of animal is that? I've never heard of such a creature on earth?"

Yan Gongdao: "I'm not too clear about this, but I probably have a little idea in my heart."

Axue interjected: "There is definitely this kind of creature on the earth, but it is hard for ordinary people to see. It is called Qiuyin, and it is the guardian of the dragon tomb. It is an extremely noble creature, even nobler than human beings. Bai Yu Those members of the Knights who claim to be descendants of the royal family should be Qiu Yin's servants."

We opened our mouths agape, and even Duke Yan looked at Axue with an incredulous expression, and said, "Little girl, how do you know this? I haven't figured out this problem after studying here for decades."

A Xue said: "You didn't understand because those people didn't want to tell you. Mr. Yan, I want to ask you a question. In such an extremely water-scarce environment in the desert, the pool where Qiu Yin lives should never be polluted at all. ? And Qiuyin is an animal with natural body odor, although it eats meat, right?"

Yan Gongdao: "That's right, you... you, who are you, how do you know so much?"

A Xue said: "I can't say this, please believe that I am doing it for your own good."

Head Chen also said: "That's right, Mr. Yan, I can prove for her that it's better if I don't know about it. By the way, can you tell me what you have been studying here these years?"

Duke Yan looked away suspiciously from Ashe, and said: "Let's go out, even those members of the knight order are not a good one to mess with."

Academician Qi said: "Duke Yan, I don't understand why they are looking for this sword tirelessly?"

Yan Gongdao: "According to my research for so many years, there should be a shocking secret hidden in it. I think if I reveal it, then I will become a sinner through the ages."

Academician Qi said: "Such a serious consequence?"

Yan Gong said: "Just now what did that girl say Qiu Yin does?"

A Xue said: "It is the guardian of the dragon tomb."

Yan Gongdao: "You are right, then you should know where this ancient castle is by now?"

We all gasped, Academician Qi said: "You mean this is actually... a dragon tomb?"

Yan Gongdao: "That's right, otherwise you can explain clearly why this castle is so special? And the most important point, why is there a Qiuyin in it? Of course, this is what I heard from the little girl just now, and it has continued for a long time. The inference at the beginning. And I always thought this inference was just a legend, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Speaking of this, Duke Yan took out the notebook, put it in front of us and said, "You also know that the poem on it was left by a king when the ancient Loulan Kingdom was attacked by the Han Dynasty army. It looks like a poem The inexplicable curse poem, in fact, after so many years of my research, and the clues provided by the little girl just now, I have basically figured out the truth of it, and I will tell you now, but first you have to read carefully every word in the poem. Character."

We read the poem again carefully, and it is as follows:

The flames of war spread to my hometown, and all my relatives around me fell in front of me.

Death makes everyone tremble like a devil, but it is inescapable.

Eagle, please bring my curse to the gods, and let him know how much I hate the swords of these invaders.

Master, when will you be able to return to the world again and destroy this evil army.

God will send his servants to seek justice for me, even if I shed my own blood, you will never take my soul.

Because I have given my life to God.

You try to cover up the truth, but the truth will never be annihilated; you try to plunder our faith with swords, but our faith will not be destroyed with the disappearance of life.

Everything will start all over again.

Yan Gongdao: "The first and second sentences of the poem describe war, so there is no need to study it carefully, but the third sentence has something to say, it seems to be a curse at first glance, but I later found out that the eagle is not a bird in the general sense. Kind, that is the name of a sword. In order to please Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, King Loulan once forged a sword named Eagle, which is the sword you saw on the mural, but Emperor Wu of the Han handed the sword to Given to an assassin, King Loulan also died under this sword.

And the last two sentences I guess: the master and the god are actually a kind of fetish, and that is the dragon.Because you can see that there is a word "Zai" in his poem, which means that his so-called master has appeared before, otherwise why "Zai"; In addition, according to my research, the army of the Han Dynasty was once defeated, so with Loulan's national strength it is How to defeat the experienced Han army?Obviously, if it wasn't its master, it would be its master's servants, because the countries in the ancient Western Regions did have a tradition of raising large animals for combat. Now that we know that Qiu Yin is the guardian of the dragon tomb, then King Loulan It is likely that the Han Dynasty army was defeated with the help of this mysterious creature.

Let's look at the last three sentences again. It seems that what the enemy wants to express is the truth that the enemy wants to cover up, and the war is related to this.So combining a legend I heard here and what the little girl said, today is the day when the truth will be revealed.

The legends I heard are really unbelievable. According to historical records, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han attacked Loulan was Loulan’s several betrayals. In fact, this is not always the case. There is a local saying why Loulan betrayed the Han Dynasty.Han people have had a self-comparison since they were young, that is, the so-called descendants of the dragon, and the emperor also claimed that the real dragon came down to earth.The dragon has a long history in Chinese culture and penetrates into everyone's blood, so it can be said to be a symbol of the Chinese spirit.However, at that time, the Loulan people released a news very unwisely. I don’t know whether they wanted to flatter Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or they really just wanted to put money on their faces. They said they found a real dragon in Loulan.

Everyone thinks, what did Liu Che think when the envoy of the Han Dynasty brought this news to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Although we have no chance to hear it with our own ears, it is not difficult to guess, because King Loulan committed a big taboo. According to him, then the Chinese emperors of all dynasties have become descendants of the Loulan people, including Liu Che himself.So in a rage, he immediately sent troops to attack Loulan, but there must be an excuse for sending troops, that is, how should the edict be written?Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not disclose this news, so betrayal is a very good reason. Anyway, in that era, no one checked whether the edict of the Han Dynasty army was true or credible.However, the army of the Han Dynasty was defeated in the first battle, but it is impossible for us to know exactly how he was defeated, or how he won after that, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che couldn't let King Loulan go. Until the final surrender of Loulan, Liu Che sent assassins to assassinate King Loulan.Look at the last three sentences, and then correspond to this legend, it should be said that this matter is very likely to be true. "

We couldn't close our mouths when we heard it. After a while, Academician Qi said: "This legend is simply crazy. Could it be that dragons don't belong to our Han nationality?"

Yan Gong said: "So this assassin has another mission, to find the real dragon. If the truth is what King Loulan said, then even the real dragon will be killed."

The more I listened to it, the more I found it unbelievable, and I couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yan, did you speculate about the assassination of the real dragon, or is it based on facts?"

Duke Yan was silent for a long time before he said: "I have a factual basis, because I have seen that assassin, that is, the general you saw on the mural."

Academician Qi said: "How is this possible? Thousands of years have passed, and he is still alive?"

Yan Gongdao: "I don't know, because I can't be sure. The first time we entered the Dragon Tomb, we happened to meet the giant devil pig that they threw into Qiu Yin's food. When it found us, it hadn't walked to Qiu Yin's habitat I thought I was going to die, but I was saved by a man in armor. After many years of investigation, I found out that this man was sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to assassinate King Loulan Assassin, but from the message he wrote on the wall at that time, he has already found out that there is no so-called dragon here, but there is a dragon tomb, so he has been looking for the place where the dragon's bones are buried."

Ma Tianxing said: "It scared me a lot. I really thought that dragons don't belong to our country."

He Zhuang said: "The dragon is indeed a sacred object unique to China. There is no dispute about this. The appearance of this dragon tomb is very strange. It seems that Academician Qi said that there is a building exactly like this on the back of the moon, right?"

Academician Qi said: "That's right, that's it."

He Zhuang said: "Dragon Tomb is not built like this, this is not Dragon Tomb."

Yan Gongdao: "How is this possible? The subject I have studied for more than 20 years will be wrong? And how do you explain this Qiu Yin?"

He Zhuang said: "There is nothing wrong with Qiu Yin, but the dragon tomb is definitely not like this. Although the dragon is a sacred object, it only grows in the poor mountains and rivers, and it is only buried here. It will never be artificially carved. Put the bones of the dragon. The dragon tomb that the world calls is just a product of their own imagination. As for this Qiu Yin, it is obviously imprisoned, and the passage is set in such a narrow place to prevent it from coming out. You know Qiu Yin is a servant of the dragon, so it is naturally impossible to use this method to deal with it. Judging from all the signs, I think King Loulan is talking nonsense. He just found Qiu Yin and knew what Qiu Yin does, and his This practice is actually an insult and blasphemy to Qiu Yin, because it is definitely not an animal that lives in the pool."

Yan Gong half-believingly said: "Who are you, how do you know so much?"

He Zhuang said: "Please forgive me, it's inconvenient for me to say more. But when it comes to Long and Qiu Yin, I don't think I know any less than any scientist in this world who studies this field, but you just said that someone wanted to Killing dragons is also true. Since there are people in the world who worship dragons, there are naturally people who have misconceptions about dragons. Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to protect the belief of his own nation, which is not difficult to understand. But some people They really want to achieve a certain purpose by killing dragons, so they will do everything possible to find and kill this kind of fetish. If the general you mentioned is a person who has practiced this kind of secret law, I absolutely believe that he has such a skill. ability."

Yan Gong said: "You are right, that person is no longer an ordinary person, he seems to be able to fly."

He Zhuang said: "Of course he can fly. If he doesn't have the ability to go to the sky and enter the earth, how can he kill the dragon?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Zhuangzi, isn't the topic we are discussing now a little too crazy? There was controversy about the existence of a dragon, but today not only saw its guardian, but someone wanted to kill it. What do you think I am?" Can you accept such remarks?"

He Zhuang said: "You don't need to accept our words, but we must find that general. If we don't stop him, something big will happen. He has guarded here for thousands of years to kill dragons, which shows his determination. If he finds out If there really are dragons in the world, the consequences will be disastrous."

I have never heard He Zhuang say so many words, but I know from his expression that he is not just talking nonsense.Sure enough, Commander Chen said: "I agree with Zhuangzi, Lord Yan, can you share with us all the information you have? I think finding that general is the key."

Mr. Yan showed distress and said: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just that I only met this general 20 years ago, and he hasn't appeared since then, and I have told you all the research results of these years. , and nothing else."

Ma Tianxing said, "You haven't been guessing this riddle for 20 years, have you?"

Apparently, his words caused Duke Yan's extreme displeasure. He put on a straight face and stopped talking.Captain Chen said: "Little Ma, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Ma Tianxing obviously also realized that his words were inappropriate, and quickly said: "Gong Yan, please forgive me for being young, what I said just now was really offensive."

Yan Gongdao: "I can't talk about offense, but young people, of course we have our own reasons for being here for so long. In addition to searching for the dragon tomb and the so-called general, we still have a lot of scientific research projects to carry out. You think we don't Do you miss your hometown and relatives? But the things here are too incredible, and we don’t have the guts to talk nonsense if we don’t figure out a clue.”

During the conversation, I saw three people turned out from the other side of the castle in disgrace. After introducing them, they were the other three experts who came here with Duke Yan, but there was a lack of Captain Li who was in charge of security work, but after so many years Yes, he should be gone.
